Photo Essay: Portland Farmers Market, Week #5

Posted on April 15, 2013 by jess sconé • 13 Comments

Apt title, swell visit. A morning well spent. Saturday’s visit to the Portland Farmers Market saw my basket full of early Albion strawberries, fresh kaffir lime leaves, purple kale, maitake mushrooms, heirloom carrots, and even more purple cauliflower during a visit early enough in the day to avoid most stroller wars, yet alas, late … Continue reading »

Austin Cocktail Round-Up

Posted on April 11, 2013 by jess sconé • 7 Comments

Tales of the Texas VegFest (starring jaw-dropping vegan funnel cakes, tacos, Capital City goodies, Ethiopian stews and more) this past weekend are still rocking the vegan internet, so consider me crazy jealous – and in taco withdrawal. That’s certainly another long-delayed photo essay in the making for another long-delayed day, because I’m a little busy … Continue reading »

Same City Field Trip: Portland’s Better Living Show & Vegan Village

Posted on April 3, 2013 by jess sconé • 4 Comments

What better time to start putting together a recap about a visit to the Better Living Home and Garden Show than a Boltbus with shaky but semi-reliant WiFi out-of-town? I’m now back home and just last night, started a batch of chocolate liqueur using the organic Frontier Co-op cacao nibs I picked up at the show (yeah, samples!). … Continue reading »

Further Northwest

A funny thing happened yesterday morning….J. Legume and I woke up before the crack of dawn, to watch said crack of dawn rise over Vancouver’s West End, and realized we were facing the wrong direction. Check, mark. Here’s a quick check-in from our trip even further Northwest…..We’re now in Victoria for our dear friend’s wedding, … Continue reading »

Opening Day Visit: Portland Farmers Market

Posted on March 18, 2013 by jess sconé • 5 Comments

That may be the scene of late Saturday afternoon, but the morning offered a slightly damp yet rain-free and welcoming trip to the first Portland Farmers Market of the season. I usually have something of a dramatic countdown in place, but a stop by the albeit smaller but year-round farmers market at Peoples Coop a … Continue reading »

For Your Drinks: Spicy Hot Chili, Lime & Sea Salt Syrup

Posted on March 12, 2013 by jess sconé • 5 Comments

I’ve been caught dreaming of warm days (which is so not me) and vibrant margaritas (which is the new me) since my trip to Austin, TX with Vida Vegan HQ last month. Give me a patio, a salted rim, dark sunglasses, chips and endless salsa, and you have the highlight of a summer day. It’s … Continue reading »
